RED, BLACK, AND BANKRUPT
The Boardroom Of The 1996 New Jersey Devils
ABOUT THIS COMMITTEE
New Jersey finally had something to brag about. In 1996, one year removed from the most dominant Stanley Cup run in modern hockey history, the Devils were supposed to be the beginning of a dynasty. Instead, the arena is half-empty, and somewhere in a filing cabinet, there’s a document with the word Nashville on it that nobody is supposed to know about.
Welcome to the boardroom. It’s uglier here than it looks from the outside. Everyone has an agenda, and the championship banner hanging in the rafters is the only thing holding this whole operation together.
So, take a seat. We have a lot to discuss.
MEET THE DAIS

CRISIS DIRECTOR
Aryan Ganti
Aryan Ganti is a sophomore majoring in Finance, Computer Science, and Mathematics. Originally born in India, Aryan moved to the United States when he was 4, and has since had the pleasure of traveling to 87 countries. When he’s not in his dorm, locked in, or traveling around the world, Aryan enjoys going to the beach or the Big Apple with his friends, keeping his longstanding streak of learning French on Duolingo, and screaming “GO PAPAYA!” on the TV when watching Formula 1 every Sunday. A fun fact about him is that he can finish JetPunk’s Countries of the World quiz in 5:39 and attempts to name every capital in the world. While Aryan wishes he knew how to say “À tout à l’heure” to you all, he hopes you all enjoy his version of the Devil’s boardroom and is excited to see you all in November. If you have any questions or want to know his take on the best countries to visit, feel free to reach out to him at akg165@scarletmail.rutgers.edu.

SENIOR CHAIR
Grace Wu
Grace Wu is a sophomore at Rutgers Business School, double-majoring in Finance and BAIT, minoring in Linguistics. Born and raised in China for most of her lifetime, Grace spent her childhood in Nairobi, Kenya, and moved to America when she was 17.

In her free time — a rare commodity — you could always catch Grace experimenting with new cooking recipes, listening to music, or doing some sort of workout, whether that’s volleyball, snowboarding, rowing, or gym, depending on the day. She hopes every delegate leaves RISC III having grown, challenged themselves, and had an unforgettable conference experience! Feel free to reach out: sw1444@scarletmail.rutgers.edu
